re: Saban comments about rematch talk with ESPN reporter

Champions don't lose their final game

Period!

It's a must win game

I hope you are 100% correct, I was only saying if we lost that AP would still make us #1, I'm not sure of that.

I don't think it matters since there are LSU fans who think OSU is better than Bama, and if Bama wins will be considered better than LSU.

What happens to these fans when LSU wins? Do they not accept this illegitimate NC against Bama? Is it still invalid since lSU didn't play OSU?

You've got nerve name calling............You lost the most critical game on your schedule AT HOME. OK ST's numbers are better than yours. You sit @ home and watch the SEC Champ game. Can't even win your division. Even with a victory in the BCS Champ game, you only have 12 wins. LSU CURRENTLY has 13 wins. So, Yes, YOU don't deserve it.

Quote in a recent interview with ESPN reporter

“not to call you guys out, but you sort of started all this talk about a match”

No big deal. It's true.

He immediately follows this comment with the following:

“I was watching Kentucky and UNC play basketball, and it was a 1 point game, both teams looked like they could probably play for a national Championship,…I bet no one would think it’s a big deal if these 2 teams play again in the Final game”


Uh!!!!!!!!!!!! Nick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... they have a process after the regular season…for that to happen.. It’s called march madness beginning with Conference tournaments

Alabama was eating popcorn, that was your freaking process of getting in this game..

---

Actually, you are wrong. The "process" for Bama was winning the rest of their games and letting the BCS process play out.

It worked. Like it has for other one/two-loss teams needing help/luck to get in. '07 ought to be a huge reminder for you.

Nope. I will use it just fine, thank you.

'07 two loss team needed help AND needed to win their last game to get in. Just cold hard facts.

I agree with this 100 percent, and this is why this system works. It gets rid of all the shite in between.

and Nick’s response today is more like “we’re Alabama, we should be in the MNC game!”..’What’s the big deal?”

---

Actually, it was nothing like that. But whoever. They are a top 2 team. The BCS is designed to have 1 play 2. It worked to perfection.

Question.....after LSU beats Bama's arse, will you continue to come here and post ignorant shite? Most likely not.

Uh no almost everyone agrees that osu
resume was better

Not really. You said they were better than Bama.

quote:

---

just that Bama passed the eye test better.

Bama is better.

When LSU beats Bama, is he title illegitimate? Will you bitch because OSU didn't get to play?

Apex,
There are many more LSU fans that agree with you than don't.

Rogers been saying the BCS worked but there is more evidence to the contrary and as he pointed out earlier today....If you disagree with his point of view you are either miserable or have an inferiority complex.
Sounds like a gumps retort.
What has happened has happened for money by ESPN with Bama as the beneficiary. the BCS can and was manipulated and will continue to be that way until we as fans demand a playoff system.

Bottom line the rematch is pointless. LSU wins they beat a team they already beat. Bama wins they would be 1-1 vs. LSU. The BCS champ would have less wins than LSU and would not be there conference champs.
It's amazing how ESPN got so many to concentrate on what is a "better loss". while ignoring # of quality wins.

The earlier notion that-- because the NCG is suppose to match up #1 and#2 and alabama and lsu are 1 and 2, the teams are both equally deserving... is prb the most absurd thing i have read on here in a while(which is a heavy statement)

Lsu is a unanimous #1. alabama is a somewhat controversial #2. how are they equally deserving..?
No one in america questions LSu being #1 let alone deserving a "shot" at the title.
At the very least for the sake of integrity, admit you are lucky to get a shot at LSU again and hope to make the most of it.
Miles had the respect to say what he said after the game and vote bama #2. the least you can do is give credit where credit is due. LSU is the only team in america that "deserves" to be in the game without question. Thus the MOST(more) deserving team.

If you really think otherwise please expound...
